Answer:
Nativism denotes political movements and attitudes in the 1800s that were characterized by a particularly sharp rejection and fight against new immigration, and protection of native inhabitantes, that is, of the white majority that made up the American society of the time. The main distinction was between people who were born in, and / or considered to be culturally belonging to America, and newcomers or their successors, especially if they were also perceived as culturally foreigners.
In this context, the Mexican-American War was unleashed by the intention of the United States to protect the American colonists living in the Republic of Texas, who wanted to join the United States as one more state. Thus, by protecting the "natives" from foreign interests, in this case Mexico, the conflict was unleashed.
<span>B) And in a hall far brighter
than Woden’s Valhalla, the brave and good will be gathered forever.</span>
<span>Answer “B” is correct because
the way the sentence originally appears is with an error in parallelism. For a sentence to be parallel, it should have
list items (note that a list/series is two or more items) appear with
same/similar grammatical elements. The
original—“brave warriors and those who were good—consists of an adjective|noun (brave|warriors)
followed by and adjective|pronoun|verb|adjective (thoses|who|were|good), which is
thus not paralle. To correct this, as
well as make this more concise, you can just use adjectives—“brave” and “good”—and
that will make this sentence’s list parallel. </span>
